When I'm hiring an employee, I'm looking for you! A generalist who will apply their wealth of database experience to my problems and learn what they need for my specifics along the way. I expect to pay some on ramp time where I do

Is this realistic? The government is heavily reliant on Windows as is much of their economy. It's hard to imagine them evicting Microsoft from the market.

Wow this is lovely! Really reminds me of the Mac apps from the power PC era.

Maybe compare the output to the expected format and see if it looks like it has been manipulated?

Wow, what a story! What motivated you to transport the car across the sea instead of rent/buy a car in the US?

Are you claiming the LLMs follow Asimov's laws? I'd be interested to read more about that. In any case, it has so far been proved possible to make an LLM act against its directives, why should this be different?

Depends if these are really spreadsheets or specialist "applications" made of excel formulas by "non-technical" users. If you are really looking at large file based table data and are similarly unable to persuade the aut

That feels counterintuitive to me. I would probably use even more CI minutes if they had higher value.

Maybe, maybe not. Not everyone pays sticker price for everything. e.g. Even modest AWS customers can qualify for fairly punchy discounts.

I have been considering offering just such a service but I haven't got the business experience to make the business work. I've done significant mentoring in all my recent roles and it's something I derive great satisfaction f

Do you have a longer term strategy for monetisation? $20/month does not seem like enough.

I took your parent to mean there are no more jobs out there without moving to another mining town. Versus a programmer job where there are plenty of other "mines" available.

Can anyone think of the reason Apple wouldn't provide hardware support to curl and similar projects? To my mind "this dev tool doesn't work, only on Apple, only on Apple's flagship chips" is the opposite of what the

Fascinating. "How many bananas on iOS" and "how many emojis on Android", "emojis on iOS" work fine. Maybe the quantity question is running into an error trying to make one of those cards? Incredible that it jus

Of course it works against it. Yes, there is an opportunity cost to not-work. That cost gets higher as work is better compensated.

But I can't choose whether my income is in cap or income and the people with the most in capitalism pay the lowest effective tax rate. Who cares how you came by the money? It is fungible.

If the total effective tax rate was higher for higher earners and lower for lower earners we could collect the same total tax and leave more money in the hands of people with less. This is only one way to achieve making work pay more, of co

But you have to give up point to point, of course the overall throughput is better but the individual experience is (perceived) worse. This is why I love the idea of "public luxury" make sitting on a train or a bus nicer than sitt

Parent's point is that you can draw a correlation to a beneficial factor without examination of whether causation exists just as easily. You correctly identify that it is unlikely your lifespan is increasing because the average gut bac
